WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
Bad news for fans of SAULT – it all might be over, and as ever, the root of all evil is money. See, Little Simz has sued producer and SAULT collaborator Inflo over £1.7 million – a sum not to be sniffed at. The claim was filed in January, and Inflo was accused of withholding…

Some of the songs that will feature in the 2025 have been released, but not all. We looked at the betting for some of these songs, and honestly, we can’t see how they’ve fallen like they have, but we only have our gut to work with, rather than analytics and whatnot. The favourites at the…

Remember WU LYF? Well, to many, they were a brief but seminal band. Hailing from Manchester, the group broke up, and went off to do their own thing. Francis Lung emerged, as did Lost Under Heaven. Now, it seems like the old band are getting back together, heralded by a countdown clock on a site.…
-
Haim have a new song out and, honestly, it sounds just like a Haim track. We mean that in the nicest possible way, as it’s filled with fun, harmonies and groovy business. It’s the group’s first new music since 2023, and it is called ‘Relationships’ and honestly, they’re famous enough that they don’t need our…

Anyone who has heard ‘Dreaming With Alice’ will no doubt have lost their damn minds thinking about how incredible ‘Mandolin Man’ is – one of the greatest acid-folk tracks of a generation, and seemingly one of those songs recorded by someone who didn’t get a fair crack, and lost to the midsts of time. Well,…

We wrote about the new Spinal Tap movie a while ago, and we could link to that piece to prove it, but you wouldn’t click it, so what’s the point? We’ll recap here either way. The good news is, is that a teaser has been released for you to watch! It’s called Spinal Tap II:…

When music and video games collide, it really is a wonderful thing – and there’s not many games that straddled both worlds quite like the Tony Hawk series of games did. Like skateboarding itself, it’s not just about the activity itself – it is equally about the lifestyle that envelopes it. Sports games tend to…

Every time country music goes worldwide, lurking in the sidelines, is someone making a more record-collector version of country, and they get all the scruffy boys and girls all giddy! This time around, it is MJ Lenderman who is carrying the torch of Silver Jews-esque slacker country, and it’s great. Good news for people in Europe,…

It is always nice to have a bit of hip hop which feels like it was made for the summer. Laid back, witty, vibey affairs to bop along to while you’re going about your business. Thanks to Samara Cyn, we’ve got some of that going on, just in time for some nicer Spring weather. The…

We don’t know a huge amount about Joy Oladokun, but we know we like this song when we heard it! It’s a great little chugger – Balearic beat, you might say. You might not. It’s a fine vibe though, and we can see it popping off while you’re having a dance in your living room…

ALLAH-LAS GO MILDLY OFF-PISTE
Do you like the Allah-Las? Great news for you is that they’ve announced a new album called ‘Zuma 85’ and there’s a tour afoot and two new songs for you to listen to. The first new song we’ll share is called ‘The Stuff’ which will be a familiar sound to fans, with twangy psych guitars…

NEW BEATLE MUSIC – THAT’S BIG NEWS
The big news is that we’re going to have some new music from The Beatles this year. Will it be great and better than anything they’ve done before? Probably not, but this is still exciting stuff for Fab Four Dorks around the world. We’re excited. Paul McCartney says he’s used artificial intelligence to help create…

I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE + MUSIC
We were going to write a piece about the music in the brilliant and often bizarre world of I Think You Should Leave. If you’ve not seen it, then half the memes on the internet probably don’t make a lick of sense to you. Go and watch it. Anyway, we said we were going to…

BARBIE MUSIC: A MOVIE THAT WILL BE FUN OR TRYING TOO HARD TO MEME?
Hype can be a terrible thing, leaving us plebs feeling like a moment has shot it’s load before you’ve even got a chance to digest the damned thing. In a period where everything has felt frantic, fraught, and fucking shite, we could all do with a dose of something camp and ridiculous to cheer us…
